As we move towards the launch of the new version of Exercism we are going to be ramping up on actively recruiting people to help provide feedback.
Our goal is to get to 100%: everyone who submits a solution and wants feedback should get feedback. Good feedback. You can read more about this aspect of the new site here: http://mentoring.exercism.io/
To do this, we're going to need a lot more information about where we can find language enthusiasts.
